The following message is from the Garrett County Sheriff's Office:
The Garrett County Sheriff’s Office is aware of recent threats made to the Garrett County Public School system. These threats have also targeted school systems nationwide.
Local law enforcement has been made aware of each of these threats and is taking each complaint seriously.
As of right now, it appears all complaints have originated from outside the country as each threat is the same throughout all jurisdictions and states.
Sheriff Myers is working in conjunction with the Garrett County Public School authorities, the school security teams, and criminal investigators to monitor and investigate these matters.
There will be increased patrols at all local schools tomorrow, September 13, 2024.
